Fire of War Brings Peace/

Chapter 9: National Sorrow

After New Year's Eve, the morning of New Year's Day was especially cold. A shocking news spread. With the help of the mastermind behind the scenes, the news that Jin 'an Palace was destroyed was spread in great detail..

That night, Chu Youshe, Duke of An, Han Linfu, Duke of Guodu, and Zhao Mingheng, Duke of Dingguo, who had absolute military power in Jin 'an, all betrayed him. The King of Jin' an was ambushed and killed by his brother Chu Youshe. All the servants, armored soldiers, and shadow guards in the palace were slaughtered. Many guards were killed and wounded. Almost all the generals who did not betray were killed. Only a few were captured..

It is said that the two princes of Jin 'an were also killed on the spot, but some people also said that the two princes escaped from the palace and disappeared. What happened is impossible to explore..

The unarmed civilians, though not killed, have been brought under control and are now being held by the rebels..

Among them, Xu Wenruo, the chief strategist of Jin 'an, hit his head on the stone pillar of the hall after King Jin' an died, and his blood splattered on the spot! Chu Mingyun, the pillar of the dynasty, did not escape either. It was unknown whether he could not escape or was unwilling to escape. Chu Mingyun fought to the death. He was besieged by a saint, three pseudo-sage Qinghe style gods, and more than ten grandmasters for nearly four hours. Finally, he died of exhaustion..

The besiegers also suffered heavy losses. Those who had already entered the Dao and become Saints were not easy to kill. Even if they did not escape, they would have to pay a heavy price to kill them..

In the end, two pseudo-saint-style gods and five grandmasters were buried with the saints, and the others were also injured..

Although most people in the Central Plains didn't know what a shikigami was, they knew it must be extremely powerful if it had the word saint. They all felt sad about the death of a saint..

When the people of Jin 'an heard the news of the king's death, it spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

Every household in the three continents of Jin 'an hung white funeral flags and lanterns. Everyone wore hemp and filial piety. No matter where they were, they all worshiped in the direction of Jin' an Palace..

Kneeling in the snow, the whole city is sad.

Some local officials, seeing that the dynasty was about to change, instructed officials to stop the people from worshipping. Most of the government servants were unwilling to go. Most of the government servants who went to stop them had evil intentions and had constant conflicts with the people. Even in Fucheng County, Liangzhou, a civil rebellion took place. The people rushed into the county magistrate's mansion armed and seized the county magistrate to force him to worship King Jin 'an. Although the riots were finally suppressed by the army, no one dared to stop the worship after learning from the previous mistakes..

Another shocking news spread. The three rebel commanders of Jin 'an will each take charge of a continent to establish a state! Han Linfu will enter Yu Continent, where Yong' an City is located, Zhao Mingheng will enter Liang Continent, and Chu Youshe will enter Ying Continent..

Jin 'an three armed forces received the news of the New Year's Eve mutiny, many officers and soldiers almost mutiny, but were strongly suppressed bloody, but there are still many generals, soldiers fled.

After the morale of the army is stable, the three armed forces receive orders from the commander to march from their stations to their respective continents.

Han, Zhao and Chu suffered a lot of harassment after this, among which Chu You was the most extravagant..

When Chu Youshe led his troops into Yingzhou, the team was stopped by hundreds of people on the official road.

The leader was wearing the standard armor of Jin 'an Huben Army generals. He was tall and powerful, holding a ring-headed broadsword..

The others are dressed differently, some soldiers and some martial artists.

" Jin 'an Huben Army General Bai Long led ten soldiers to kill the rebels!" After saying that, the man raised his broadsword and rushed towards the team. The ten Huben soldiers behind him rushed forward together..

" Axe City Guards, Shi Jian, led four people to eliminate the rebels in Jin 'an!"" The Iron Sword Sect of Yingzhou Longquan Prefecture killed the rebels in Jin' an!"" Yuwu Mountain Chief Wang Tingli led nine disciples to avenge King Jin 'an!"" The old soldier of the Lion Roar Army, Feng Mingyuan, came here to kill the traitor Chu Youshe!"... Hundreds of people rushed straight towards the tens of thousands of people. Even though the outcome had already been determined, they did not hesitate..

Following Chu You She's signal, the Huben soldiers began to mercilessly slaughter everyone..

One by one, everyone fell down. The White Dragon charging at the front had only two soldiers left. His leg had been shot by arrows, and his body was covered in blood. He dragged his leg that could no longer exert his strength forward resolutely and fought with great difficulty. Suddenly, he pointed his knife at the sky and shouted loudly," Protect Jin An forever!!".

This is not only a slogan, but also an oath..

As time went by, this sentence had been engraved in the soul of many Jinan people, protect Jinan forever, even if Jinan was no longer there…Everyone continued to charge and brazenly died. Hundreds of people did not retreat until the last person in the battle..

Chu Youshe, Duke of Anguo, saw this scene. His expression was a little absent-minded, and then he recovered his coldness."Forever protect Jin 'an…" He muttered softly,"Foolish loyalty, wasting his life in vain.

"I think he's thinking about something, his eyes are sharp..

"Bury these idiots, don't stink here and make people hate you..

Then hundreds of soldiers stepped out and buried the bodies nearby. The team continued to move forward. The soldiers who buried the bodies stood in front of the already filled corpse pit, facing the team with their backs to them, and silently saluted..

In Yongan City's Tianzi Dungeon, Jia Shanchang, Duke of Xingguo, stood proudly. His official uniform was already a little tattered. His face and head were also rubbed with dust. He looked a little embarrassed..

A fat figure in armor stood outside the prison door and was chattering to Prime Minister Jia. It was Han Linfu, the Duke of the Kingdom..

"Good Chief, His Majesty is dead now. Jin An Dynasty is finished. I, Old Han, want to establish a new dynasty in Yuzhou. I, Old Han, will give you the same treatment Jin An gave you. I can even give you more. Can you help me with peace of mind?.

At this moment, Han Linfu no longer looked like a rogue in the hall at that time. Now, he was sincere and slightly vulgar..

I don't know which one of them is real, or both of them are fake, which makes people wonder..

" As the Prime Minister of Jin 'an, the head of civil officials, I will never be a second minister. You traitor of Jin' an, I despise your company!" Jia Shanchang was unmoved and glared at Han Linfu angrily..

"One day, your false dynasty will be overthrown by my Jin 'an people, and you will die without a burial ground..

Han Linfu was not angry, but waved to his side, and a group of men, women and children were escorted by the jailers. It was the people who had been controlled in Xingguo Gong Mansion. Jia Shanchang's old mother, wife and daughter-in-law were among them..

"Good Chief, if you don't think about yourself, you should also consider your family. If you follow me, you'll get glory and wealth. If you go against my wishes, you and your family can only go down to reunite..

Han Linfu coldly laughed, his expression somewhat ferocious, as if he would kill anyone at any moment..

" Shanzhang, Xiaoxian and Fan 'er have been rescued by His Highness. Don't worry about us. Don't be a traitor!" The Duke's wife stepped forward and grabbed the prison door, shouting at Jia Shanzhang..

" Courting death!" Han Linfu took out his saber and rushed forward, but he did not chop it down. Instead, he used the saber handle to hit the head of the Duke's wife, who immediately fainted..

"Good Lord, my patience has its limits. I'll give you one last chance to consider it..

Han Linfu stood with his knife, turned to Jia Shanchang, and gave him an ultimatum..

Jia Shanchang stared at his fallen wife, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

" Good! One day, my Jia family's descendants will definitely follow His Highness's army into the city. You, a traitor, will have a miserable ending! I only hate that I am just a weak scholar who cannot kill you, a traitor! The Jia family does not have people who are afraid of death. Mother, everyone is sorry. Today's matter is beyond redemption. I have dragged you all to die with me!" Jia Shan said, tears flowing down his face. He was sad that he could not protect his family..

"Good Lord, why?.

Han Linfu sighed softly,"Forget it, I, Old Han, have done this evil deed to the end today. As you wish, I will send your family on their way!" He then ordered the prison supervisor,"Take Jia Shanchang and his family to Donghua Gate of the Royal Palace and behead them!" In front of Donghua Gate, the execution platform had been set up. Dozens of bare-chested and powerful executioners stood with beheading knives in their hands. Jia Shanchang's family knelt in front of the executioner one by one, their heads pressed against the beheading brick, and their mouths were gagged..

Han Linfu personally supervised the execution, and soon it was almost quarter past noon. Han Linfu gestured for the executioner to remove the cloth from Jia Shanchang's mouth. He seemed to have some sympathy and slowly said," Shanchang, if you continue to persist in your wrong course, don't blame me for not caring about our friendship with the court!" Jia Shanchang struggled to stand up. The executioner wanted to stop him, but his weak body exploded with astonishing strength, knocking the executioner away. He stood up straight and looked at the onlookers and soldiers present..

" Today, the Jin 'an Dynasty has been destroyed by a traitor. As the prime minister of Jin' an, I should die for it. Although my family has died without regret, even if the Jin 'an Dynasty is not around for a while, the people of Jin' an should remember that they are the subjects of Jin 'an. When the Jin army returns, they will defeat the enemy with a single call! I, Jia Shanchang, will take a step forward and protect Jin' an forever with my loyal soul! Hahaha!" Jia Shanchang raised his head and laughed loudly, his eyes filled with sadness and determination..

Han Linfu was furious and immediately ordered the beheading of 58 members of the Jia clan..

Jia Shanchang planted a seed in the hearts of Jin 'an people with his own death, but I don't know if it can germinate and bear fruit..
